Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

She bullies her patients. I only had one appointment with her and I will NOT be back. I have never been treated so disrespectfully by a medical professional

She documented in my care notes a discussion she had with me regarding my health that NEVER happened. Didn't feel she really cared or was concerned for my well being. Not Warm. Gave this wide eyed, not really interested glare every time I spoke. Just felt like she TRULY was not fond of seeing someone 'different ' than her. Very Weird ! Dr. Clore Played her role but, I'll stick with my regular Dr for Sure !

Amazing doctor
Dr.Clore has delivered both of my children. During each pregnancy made sure that I fully understood what was going on, how it would affect me and the babies. She has made sure to explain the reasoning behind each treatment. Her bedside manners were amazing and always made sure that whatever route we went it was on my terms. I will always recommend her. Especially for expecting mothers who want someone who truly cares.

She went to bat for me when I needed an advocate.
Dr. Clore and I crossed paths in the ER at North KC Hospital in June of 2021. Faced with the prospect of being sent home by the physician on duty, she explained it was highly likely I would be right back in the ER due to what she saw in the imaging. After an 8+ hour wait in the ER (plus the prior 3 days of pain and discomfort at home), Dr. Clore performed a laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy; the removal of one ovary and both fallopian tubes. Post op findings: ovarian torsion with a mass. Nothing like being frightened AND in pain in the ER. Nothing like being dismissed like you're imagining the symptoms. Nothing like worrying about missing work. Nothing like worrying about the ensuing hospital bill & related expenses. On the flip side, there's nothing BETTER than a doctor that swoops in with confidence, expertise, a sense of urgency, reassurance and resolves a real problem (because sometimes ovaries do indeed do gymnastics). Thank you Dr. Clore...appreciate you.

Rude and unreassuring
Dr. Clore was not my regular Dr. I only saw her once and it was one time to many. She put me down about my questions and seemed to turn everything around and talk about herself. Completely unprofessional! She talked about how painful her many pregnancy's were and that I shouldn't even try for a natural birth. All of this on the first time she ever met me, because my normal Dr. was busy that day.

AMAZING OBGYN
I have been seeing Dr. Clore for 10+ years and I couldn't recommend her enough! She is compassionate, kind and thorough. I have learned over the years that wait times vary and may be long but it's always because she is spending adequate time with her patients or delivering babies. She is a very skilled GYN and OB, all while also being an amazing advocate for her patients. I highly recommend her to everyone seeking an OBGYN.

I have been seeing Dr. Clore for my GYN and OB needs. I will always recommend her to anyone that is looking for a provider that is attentive, easy to talk to, and goes above and beyond for patient care. As a first time mom, Dr. Clore eased my mind with all my concerns, even as a second time mom (and considered "Advanced Maternal Age"--she does great with answering my questions and keeping my mind at ease.

Dr.Clore is an excellent Doctor that knows what she's doing. She is very knowledgeable, honest and up front. I know that makes some people uncomfortable, but that is what a good physician should always do. I had seen comments say they felt rushed, please keep in mind that they also have patients in the hospital to tend to as well, especially being connected to the hospital. Babies don't always run off our schedules and I've seen Dr.Clore have to get out the door quickly firsthand. She made sure I was satisfied before heading out. I think that's reasonable. We lost our baby at 23 weeks. No fault of anyone but my body. Dr.Clore and her nurse, Angela, were so good to me. The entire office was kind. When I had to go in for checkups, they didn't make me sit in the waiting room with all of the new and expecting moms. (Which was triggering for me after such a great loss) That act of kindness in itself has me a patient for life.

I switched from a clinic that repeatedly denied my request for a minor surgery and then dropped me as a patient when I had to cancel an appointment, citing "not conforming to treatment plan." I booked an appointment with Dr. Clore and her first question was why I hadn't been offered the surgery that I had been requesting for 2 years from the other Dr.! She's very personable, takes her time to listen, and quick to get to the bottom of any issue.

Dr. Clore is very personable and professional. I had a repeat c-section which she performed. My incision healed way better than my previous incisions, and thanks to her advice breastfeeding also got off to a wonderful start! She also was very respectful of my decisions regarding my health choices. It was a breath of fresh air to have her as my OB after so much trouble in past pregnancy with other OBs.

Dr. Clore was very nice, but very rushed with me. I had my very first appointment with her today and I felt extremely rushed. I spent a total of 2.5 hours at the clinic, it was so behind. Absolutely insane. I'm considering going to another practice because of the clinic itself. It's one thing to wait an hour in the waiting room, but at least make it worth the wait with an exceptional appointment where I don't feel rushed.

At first I was nervous for have to switchto a different physician 6 months into my pregnancy (we moved to Kansas City). Dr. Clore made me feel comfortable and when it came time to actually having the baby I felt she went above and beyond!! From coming in to check on me when she wasn't even on call. To coming into the hospital at 2am (again, not on call). And finally performing a necessary c-section. My husband and I were both impressed with her bedside manner!
